This mascara does define the lashes, with some volume, but it leaves my lashes looking spidery after 2 coats. With one coat, my lashes just look wet, as opposed to having any sort of thickness or definition to them. This is a very natural mascara, and is marketed badly for volume. The staying power for this is ok, with no flaking, but the formula is also very thin.

This is the only mascara that I can say I truly hate. The formula is goopy, IMO, and the wand is very, very flimsy. I usually love the wands with the little plastic bristles, but this one was too cheaply made, I think.

I received this in the Goodie Bag and was excited to try it!
I must admit what was first excitement quickly turned into major disappointment.

The Good
I like the way the brush looks, I'll be using it to apply other products.
Truly waterproof - I've worn it at times when I knew tears would be unavoidable and it stayed put through major waterworks.
Cool package - I quite like the hot pink tube.

The Bad
It is impossible to take off!! Even when applied over a regular mascara, takes a couple days to get rid of it. (All other waterproof mascaras I've tried come off much easier when there is a coat of regular mascara applied underneath)
It clumps my lashes together leaving me with weird spider looking sticks attached to my eyelids - this has never happened with any other mascara I've used.
Smells really weird.
By the end of the day my eyes start to hurt and water with this product on, which is very unusual because I generally don't have this issue with other eye makeup products.

Overall, can't wait to find a new waterproof mascara so I can toss this one!

I was very excited to try this mascara. It was given in the goodie bag for Chick Advisor's shop crawl. The applicator was not good for my type of eyelashes. It was a small "comb" applicator. It works well to avoid clumping but it did not give me the volume or lengthening that I am used to. The applicator did not work as well with my lashes (which are short and sparse) as it's sister mascara (Maybelline New York Colossal Volum' Express Mascara).

I purchased this mascara a while ago, what attracted me most was the silicone brush and the defining quality of it. The brush seperates the lashes quite well but makes them seem kind of thin and weak. It doesn't add volume or length. Since then I switched to Colossal mascara.

The mascara:
Maybelline New York Define-A-Lash Mascara

I didn't really like this mascara. It worked well at first but then started to go weird. It did lengthen but then stopped working, it started to go clumpy and made my lashes look horrible. i wouldn't recommend this mascara as it costs quite a bit for something that only works for about 2 weeks.

I would not recommend this product to anyone, it had some good points, but those were strongly outweighed by its utter crappiness! Some good points were that it stayed on well and I like the packaging (yay pink and green) but it clumped my lashes together, did not provide amazing volume or length, and the color was very VERY weird. The black had a weird look too it, I don't know how to describe it! And I also did not like the smell. I mean yes it is just mascara but still compared to Collosal Volume Mascara (which smells amazing) this smelled BAD. All in all not a great product and definatley not worth my while!
